CAD Setup Toolbar
The CAD Setup toolbar contains these options to help you set up and work with a CAD model in the Graphic Display window:
Import
from CAD File - Displays the Import dialog
box so you can navigate to and import a supported part model from your
library. Select the Files of Type list to view
the file types. PC-DMIS
remembers the file type that you selected the last time you used this
button and defaults to that file type. For more information on importing
files, see "Importing
CAD Data or Feature Data" in the "Using
Advanced File Options" chapter.
CAD Transform - Shows the CAD
Transform dialog box so you can transform (translate, scale, and
rotate) your CAD model. For information on how to transform your CAD model,
see "Transforming
a CAD Model" in the "Editing
the CAD Display" chapter.
CAD Colors - Shows the Edit
CAD Elements dialog box so you can change the color of selected
elements. For information on these CAD colors, see "Editing
CAD Elements" in the "Editing
the CAD Display" chapter.
CAD
GD&T Options - Shows the CAD and Graphic
Setup dialog box, CAD GD&T tab so
you can configure how CAD GD&T callouts appear in the Graphic Display
window. For information on using this tab, see "CAD
GD&T Tab" in the "Editing
the CAD Display" chapter.
CAD Info - Shows the CAD
Information dialog box so you can view additional information about
the CAD model. For information on CAD information, see "Viewing
CAD Information" in the "Editing
the CAD Display" chapter.
Assembly
- Shows the CAD Assembly dialog box so you can
create a CAD assembly (a collection of part models), or display and hide
parts inside an assembly. For information on CAD assemblies, see "Working
with Assemblies of Parts" in the "Editing
the CAD Display" chapter.
CAD Levels - Shows the CAD Levels dialog
box so you can group CAD elements as CAD levels for the currently displayed
CAD model. For information on CAD levels, see "Working
with CAD Levels" in the "Editing
the CAD Display" chapter.
CAD Groups
- Shows the CAD Groups dialog box so you can
group CAD elements as a CAD group. You can also use this to modify groups,
delete groups, and view or hide groups in the Graphic Display window.
For information on CAD groups, see "Working
with CAD Groups" in the "Editing
the CAD Display" documentation.
Coordinate System - Shows the CAD Coordinate
System dialog box so you can create or select coordinate systems
for your CAD model. For information on CAD Coordinate systems, see "Working
with CAD Coordinate Systems" in the "Editing
the CAD Display" chapter.
CAD Model Views
- Shows the CAD Model Views dialog box so you
can define and activate CAD model views. These views show and hide CAD
elements similar to CAD groups, but they also include orientation, shading,
scaling, and clipping plane information.
The list to the right of the icon contains the available
CAD model views. If there are no CAD model views, the list is empty. You
can select <None> from the list to deactivate
a CAD model view. If a CAD model view contains embedded CAD GD&T callouts,
this icon ()
appears next to that item in the list. For information on CAD GD&T
callouts, see the "Working
with CAD GD&T Callouts" topic in the "Editing
the CAD Display" documentation.
For information on CAD model views, see "Working with CAD Model Views" in the "Editing the CAD Display" documentation.
